History

Minute (min)

The minute, symbol min, is 60 seconds. Its name comes from the Latin for “first small part.” Minutes have been used since ancient times when base-60 number systems shaped early timekeeping. Minutes are part of daily life—used in clocks, plans, and math. Although the SI system uses seconds, minutes are still important for daily and cultural needs, thereby linking science with everyday life.

Hour (h)

The hour, symbol h, is 60 minutes or 3,600 seconds. It began in ancient times, when people divided the day into 24 parts based on the sun’s movement. This method of dividing the day has remained throughout history. Today, hours organize daily life—jobs, TV, and transport rely on them. The hour is not an SI unit, but it is widely used for convenience and accuracy.
